  • Does your Spouse Enjoy Flying? (from a GA Poll)

    About 47.5 % support flying or even getting their own aircraft / license About 51% don't support flying, almost 6% wish they would stop Well, about 50:50 (slightly skewed to the negative side).  they need to fly in a trike, where the bang for the buck is HIGH!!

    I found “Royal Arch”, 175ft high with a span of 80 ft, ample clearance for a trike.  On the other side of the ridge was a mini Monument Valley.  It was too windy to explore today, but I plan to return and check it out in the future.

  • We toured the Silverton Mine in Broken Hill

    Children used to work much of this mine because the passageways were so small.  I prefer to be high above ground ;)   In fact this solidified that I don't want to be buried in the end, and get a good job, because some jobs can really really really suck

  • High Octane Ethanol

    We spent half the morning searching for 40 gallons of ethanol free fuel.  Then the other half searching for ethanol !! ;) David Coy tipped us off that a bottle of Scotch would pave our welcome on our first outback leg tomorrow to Bill's Ranch in Montana.

  • 4UR Ranch

    We spiraled down, burning off 5000 ft of altitude to reach the Creede Valley.  Then flew past Wagon Wheel Gap and into the Goose Creek Valley, home of the 4UR ranch. This is a vie...

  • Garita Peak

    We steadily climbed out of the valley to reach the top of the 12,500 ft mountain north of Creede, Garita Peak.  From there we followed a high mountain ridge to the east. This is a view back to the northwest to Garita Peak and the large park below the mountain.
